Another highlight was "Malam Bakat Pelajar", a platform for participants to showcase their unique abilities, encouraging creativity and self-expression. Finally, the "Teknik Belajar Berkesan" sessions introduced strategies to enhance academic performance by improving focus, memory and study habits, empowering students with the skills needed for success both in education and in real-life situations.
